Actually, you-all makes some sense. You is singular and you-all is plural. And here in the South, "Coke" is generic. "Does anyone want a coke? What kind?" I do still use "Pop" when I go back to Ohio, though. I absolutely cannot stand when someone says "Awnry" for Ornery. For some reason that drives me nuts. |
It took me a while to realize that "pop" and "soda" were the same thing.

Well...mine is "throwed"...I just go crazy when I hear this.." that bull throwed him like a yard dart!"
People around here say that all the time...UGGHHHH! And..."done gone"...as in...."he done gone and done it".... :roll: :roll: :roll: |
I have been sitting here and laughing like crazy at some of these...and how many I still use LMBO
It is funny though, I may use them while talking, but never think of using them while typing/writing :lol: :roll: :lol: |
Well, I am going to confess and say that I do use a certain phrase. Almost always in regards to a patient:
"She looks like she was rode hard and put up wet" :shock: :mrgreen: |
What drives me nuts is someone using the word issues for the word problem. Is the word problem outlawed.
|
I agree....with your "issue" with the word "issue"... :lol: :lol: :lol:
Have ya'll read the uproar about our President using the word "unprecedented"? It has been all over the internet just this week...funny... |

I LOVE regionalisms, eh. I don't mind all the little things people say, but I do cringe when the verb doesn't agree with the subject, especially when the person is answering the phone. And I know some people are trying really hard to get it correct, and goof it up everytime! Double negatives confuse me, but I can usually figure out what the person means. Sometimes not. Or "not so much" which is the new one.
I like listening to people and I try to determine where they have lived because they use words in unusual ways. |
